We are JW and believe life is sacred and thats why we are WFP, but know of other JW who dont follow the law and give to ceasar what is due, just my oponion, and are they cheap because of braking the law.

wot drugs r u on ma friend 

[prestige cleaners]

im a jdub and im relatively expensive compared to others, so i think its wrong to generalise about members of a religion and blame them for low prices.

[darren clarke]

i aint generalise  about a religion i said where i was there area load of jw wc, who are cheap  is this the same any  where else,   there seems to be that many new people coming in to this business this year, that it doesnt seem worth doing any more, as prices seem to be getting less and less

Hi darren

The only coincedence about Jw's in ~St Austell is that proportionally there are far more jw window cleaners to non jw window cleaners, same as all of Cornwall.

the ratio is about 5jw - 1 none, it is nothing to do with there religion.

I know some who charge very high prices, i

n all trades you have the cheap and the expensive.

[darren clarke]

yea ur probably right,  just seem to of hit a area, where there is work, but its just over run with JW wc,  probably just me going insane lol

[dazmond]

thats a very sweeping generalisation and not very accurate!as has already been spoken of many times before on this forum.

you get cheap/dirt cheap/moderately expensive and very expensive!just because some guy is charging £5-£6 a semi doesnt mean he s on the dole/beer brigade etc.

if he has a very compact round and experienced(or wfp)then he can still make a fair wedge.he also might have some better priced domestic/commercial and see these run of the mill houses as "bread and butter" jobs.

also depends on area and the cost of living in your particular neck of the woods.if you clean frames/doors/sills and offer a longer cleaning frequency you should be able to double what the cheaper windys charge!

some parts of my round are cheaper than others but they are very very compact!so other windys dont get a sniff!i also pick up the add on jobs at quite a lot of these custys!hardly any driving about/easy to collect.

of course i also have larger well priced domestics/stand alone jobs/a few commercial.a good mixture!

[richard jagger]

Is the JW church not encouraging member to clean window if they have no work. I know of churches see it as a responsibility to help congregation if the have no income even when it come to buying tool for the needy flock. God blesses those who help themselves

[darren clarke]

i was speaking to a jw to day  who said they do wc as it is part time hours so they can go do churchy things

[Paul Coleman]

Same around my way.  Some window cleaners charge high, some charge low.  Some are JWs.  Some aren't.  The good thing about it though is that the JW shiners are pretty unlikely to be on the fiddle as not paying the state its financial dues is regarded pretty badly by them.  I bet a few are surprised I'm posting this but as always on this stuff, I call it as I see it.
